Progression Ignition- Thoughts?

-
Interesting! I see it being useful in some circumstances. But the reason I get into primitive machinery to get away from exactly that type of thing...
 
Just imagine it being hacked at a stoplight showdown.
 
Think of all the RF interference that could booger with it.
 
$529 dollars..........

maybe a Black Friday price coming....lol

I bought one to replace my MSD Pro-billet that I had locked out at 35*. Money well spent in my book.

Why? to gain a fully adjustable vacuum advance, and have start retard. Short of having an EFI style digital ignition control, it's the only way I have heard of getting such easy to change timing control, including fully adjustable vacuum advance.

My car loves it, and I get real time feedback as to where my timing is while driving at various throttle positions and cruise speeds. It is a helpful and enlightening tool.

No one is going to be able to "hack" it, as it would take some computer guru like a Russian, North Korean or Iranian expert to set up with in 15 feet of the car to break the digital code to pull that off. There's just no $ in it to bother.

Thanks for that, I had done some research about manifold or port vacuum from a guy on youtube (Thunderhead) and he mentioned Progression Ignition. I use a similar set up on my '10 FLTRX Harley and it's amazing. It also allows you to update via telephone if any are available. $500.00 really isn't that expensive all things considered.

So are you running a curve or is it locked out and you added vacuum advance??
 
Very cool idea. I came across this in a youtube rabbit hole and wondered if anyone had started a thread on it. @jbc426 wondering what you still think and if any pesky ruskies have hacked it yet.......
